I clicked through to individual backups, but could see any button that said “remove” or “delete”. No menu bar, so no obvious place to click “delete a backup”. But what if you just “need” extra space on that drive? In my case, I needed to free up about 200GB so I could copy over some files, temporarily, from a drive I was retiring. Now, Time Machine is very good about deleting the oldest backups on an ongoing basis to manage space. The problem I had was that the 1TB drive I have for Time Machine backups was full. How to delete individual backups from Time Machine?
This post is about a question I had today: My hope is that I’ll save other people that hour of searching. My rule of thumb for these posts is simple – if I get stumped about how to get something set up, and then after an hour of searching I find the answer, I share it here. Some of my most popular blog posts, over time, have been tips & tricks I’ve posted about how to get certain things done on the Mac.
